Well, Winterfest has begun in Webkinz World and I was all excited with anticipation to log in today until I got this message:

Ganz makes me very frustrated at times. They had to know that with all the new Webkinz users since Christmas that Winterfest would have a much bigger crowd. I should not have to wait in line to login to Webkinz World when Ganz knows the demand to play is much higher now. As a result, I haven't been in all day today because I refuse to wait in line. That is just me, I can't imagine all the frustrated kids that want to play, but can't login. Some people are reporting that they login, but then get kicked off in the middle of their session. Unacceptable in my opinion, but then again, maybe I am overreacting too.

People with Asian time zone accounts are reporting that Ganz has finally fixed the glitches in the Webkinz Jellybean Challenge. The days of empty Jellybean jars in Webkinz World are over, so now we can go back to enjoying this game instead of being frustrated with it.

Back in December, the Webkinz Schnauzer was a completely unannounced Webkinz, but somehow one found its way into a box and ended up in a store. One lucky Webkinz lover found it and bought it, but a quick call to Ganz told them that it was not ready to be activated yet. Ganz said that January 23rd is the day to activate the Webkinz Schnauzer. Well, that day was yesterday and now there are virtual pictures of the Schnauzer for you guys to see.

A Webkinz Kangaroo has been spotted in Webkinz World. Check out the virtual picture. It was spotted in the clubhouse. I can't wait to get my hands on one.

Well, the Christmas and Holiday items have been removed from Webkinz World, but Ganz was kind enough to give us a new room theme to buy - the Upscale Condo Theme. After glancing over it, I like the look of it and I will be pursuing all the items.

The Upscale Condo theme includes 19 pieces ranging from bedroom, dining room, and kitchen items. The KinzVision HDTV is the highest priced item in the set, carrying a price tag of $1600 Kinz Cash. It looks like Lime Green is the color of choice for this theme, and don't forget to buy the fancy artwork to decorate your walls.

Another Webkinz Secret Recipe has been solved in Webkinz World. You can now treat your pet to the delightfully tasty Shabloomers.

Shabloomers Recipe:

• Stove
• Sunflower Seeds
• Fudge
• Corn Flakes

"When Mary Claire Lartz first developed her interest in cuddly stuffed animals that also have an animated life online, she had no idea what a splash she would help make in the Twin Cities.

The 9-year-old was the first down the runway at a Webkinz fashion show Saturday at Casey’s Garden Shop, 1505 N. Main St., Bloomington.

Soon, 48 more children ages 3 to 16 walked down the runway carrying their Webkinz, a stuffed animal."
